Hi there!

My name is Rachel and I love to knit (especially with my friends in a pub with a large chilled glass of white wine!) I have two books published called ‘Pub Knitting’ and ‘I Love Knitting’.

I like to think that my style of knitting is different and slightly quirky – how many knitting books have patterns for a beer cosy after all?!

To spread my love of knitting nationwide which is supported by Rowan Yarns I am going on a knitting tour across the country in aid of the Make a Wish Foundation. My aim is to teach people along the way that knitting is cool and hopefully getting them hooked as well!

I chose the Make a Wish Foundation because I want to make a difference and help children’s dreams become a reality. If this tour helps to grant one wish it will be worth all of the travelling! So please join me and learn how to knit. If you can’t join me please give generously.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Make-A-Wish Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support
